'Medicine'? 'Medications'? 'Prescriptions'? I'd say 'drugs' does lean quite strongly towards the illicit kind.

If a doctor asked me if I was 'taking any drugs', I would assume they wanted to know in confidence about anything recreational; not prescriptions/off the shelf medicine.

Yes, it depends on context.

Eg if your wife asks you whether you've taken your drugs yet, she means the same thing as meds.
